"The Applicants may be right in claiming that the Regulations passed by the Government during in the last decade leaves the way open to a gradual erosion of their right to freedom of expression without for all that being an effective measure to curb tobacco use in Canada. However, the issue must at this stage remain unresolved. It is important to note that the Applicants challenge neither the content of the warnings that must be posted on the packaging, nor the contents of the health information that must be displayed on packages or on a prospectus, nor the disclosure of toxic emissions and constituents. The harm of which they complain is of a strictly economic character, excluding the basic legal issues that will inevitably be argued on the merits. It is by no means assured that the upsurge in smoking amongst youths only stems from lower prices, nor is it certain that catchier messages will solve the problem.

To deprive them of any effect for an unlimited period of time in an interlocutory proceeding would be tantamount to impeding the pursuit of the common good."
